| I think this is a Southern Hawker. I have never seen one before let alone one in the garden. |

What a cracking selection Ron, don't know much about butterflies but I think to get a White-letter Hairstreak is a major garden tick :-) And a posing Southern Hawker female same day amazing. I get a number of dragonflies flying through each summer but never yet seen one settle to photograph. Great when the wildlife comes to you though, you must have green-fingers as well as a keen eye ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan I don't know about green fingers (you haven't seen the garden) but I got lucky. I'm pleased I got the ID right on the Southern Hawker but I had know idea it was a female.
